What is an Asian Rice Bowl?<\/h3>\n

Rice bowls are basically meals in a bowl that are popular all over Asia. \u00a0Ingredients may vary from country to country, but the concept is pretty much the same.\u00a0 Take a large bowl, fill it with rice, and top it with fresh or sauteed vegetables, meat, egg, or tofu, fresh herbs, and a sauce to tie things together. \u00a0Nuts and seeds may also be sprinkled on top for flavor.<\/p>\n

In Korea, eggs and hot sauce may make an appearance. \u00a0In Japan, steak and broccoli with teriyaki sauce. \u00a0In Vietnam, fresh bean sprouts and mint with charbroiled pork and a fish sauce vinaigrette. \u00a0And so on.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., rice bowls have made their way onto menus as quick and healthy alternatives to fast food. And for those of us who eat gluten-free, they are a great item to add to our home kitchen menus.<\/p>\n
